Leonard Wayne Williams Jr., a U.S. Air Force veteran and single father, was shot and killed in Washington, Pennsylvania, on September 1, 2021 — one day before his 37th birthday. The shooting happened in the 100 block of West Walnut Street after a dispute over an eviction notice that had been placed on doors at the property by Quentin Trisler Jr., the landlord’s son. Williams was pronounced dead at the scene from a gunshot wound; the Washington County Coroner ruled the death a homicide.

Authorities arrested a suspect after the shooting, but the Washington County District Attorney later declined to file charges, ruling the incident a justifiable homicide and describing the landlord’s account that Williams became aggressive, followed the landlord to his truck, and struggled with the driver’s side door. The decision not to charge prompted protests and calls from the family for the case to be reopened and for the evidence to go before a jury.

Does anyone have additional information or witnessed the confrontation on West Walnut Street that afternoon?
